Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#014 - British Shooting Show Special, Hikmicro Alpex Pro, BSA Airsport SL, High-Power Airguns
Q: Do you think air rifles have peaked in development, and what might the future hold?
There is likely more headroom, especially in PCPs, with advances in faster lock times, better stock ergonomics, reduced reliance on O-rings, monocoque chassis evolution, and higher shot counts, while spring-piston development may stagnate compared with PCPs; the future could include new containment methods for high pressures and smarter regulators.
#014 - British Shooting Show Special, Hikmicro Alpex Pro, BSA Airsport SL, High-Power Airguns
Q: What are your thoughts on FAC air rifles and how do they compare to 22LR rimfire?
FAC air rifles offer more range and stopping power and are less affected by wind at distance, but they come with trade-offs like increased noise, more muzzle flip, fewer shots per fill, and safety considerations; for many users, staying sub-12 remains viable, but FAC is valuable for slug shooting and longer-range pest control when used responsibly.
#009 - Hunting Ghost Stories, .25 calibre at Sub-12, Taipan Veteran and much more…
Q: Do you think 0.25 calibre at 12 foot pounds is viable for shorter medium range pest control or hunting?
Both hosts agree there is potential at close to mid-range, but emphasize the need for precise shot placement; heavier .25 pellets at sub-12 ft/lb may experience more pronounced trajectory and potential for misses if not placed well, yet modern optics with ballistic compensation can mitigate trajectory concerns.
#007 - Owl Attack, Swimming Pool Pest Control & Hollow Point Ammo
Q: Do you have a hunting company or always hunt with your own group?
Both, we hunt with friends in some cases but also split up into separate hides when needed; the social aspect remains strong, yet efficiency often calls for solo or small-team work depending on the target species.
#17 - Hikmicro Neos Thermal Scope, Cheap Night Vision, Squirrel Hunting Tips & More...
Q: Should a Varac HW100 owner try to push power to reach the 12 foot-pound limit if accuracy is already solid at 10.9 foot-pounds?
It's better to prioritize accuracy and reliability at a sub-12 limit; a slight increase in power may come at a cost to consistency, and staying closer to the legal limit with good accuracy is usually preferable.
